Human Immunology and Immunodeficiencies Organizer(s): Lennart Hammarström, Xiao-Jun Xu, Jean-Laurent Casanova and Xiao-Ming Gao Date: May 12 - 17, 2009 Location: Capital Hotel, Beijing, China Organized in Collaboration with the Chinese Society of Immunology. Sponsored by Pfizer Inc. Summary of Meeting: The study of human immunodeficiency, whether inherited or acquired, is an outstanding and illuminating approach for the understanding of human immunology. The clinical investigation of these experiments of nature provide novel insights into the physiology of immune responses. In the course of this Keystone Symposia meeting we aim to bring together experts in the three related fields of primary immunodeficiencies, complex genetics of infectious diseases, and virus-induced immunodeficiency. The immunological and clinical lessons learned from the care and investigation of patients with these conditions will be discussed. Scholarship Deadline: January 12 2009 Discounted Abstract Deadline: January 12 2009 Abstract Deadline: February 11 2009 Discounted Registration Deadline: April 2 2009 We gratefully acknowledge additional support for this conference from: We appreciate the organizations that provide Keystone Symposia with additional support, such as marketing and advertising: Click here to view more of these organizations Special thanks to the following for their support of Keystone Symposia initiatives to increase participation at this meeting by scientists from underrepresented backgrounds: Click here to view more of these organizations
